Jay Cutler is not the most popular man in the NFL, but that is not the issue to Bears fans. They simply want to know if he will take them back to the NFL promised land – The Super Bowl. Unfortunately, Jay Cutler will not be the reason the Bears do or do not make that lofty goal. Jay Cutler will play a part, but the real test will be if Jay Cutler can find somebody to throw the ball to.
Jay Cutler came over to the Bears after a huge blowup in Denver, and he is really getting a bad rap in my opinion. Anytime a new coach comes in and starts hunting a quarterback, that is generally bad news for an incumbent quarterback. Not only that, but Cutler was more than holding his own as one of the few positive things going in the Denver offense. He and Brandon Marshall were really the bulk of the offense. They did everything the Broncos could ever expect of them. Why hunt a quarterback?
As for Chicago, it is still all about superstar running back Matt Forte. Jay will throw the ball more often to be sure, but it will still be about getting Forte the football and letting him make things happen. Some of that is because Cutler has no real threats at wide receiver, and some of that is because Forte is just that darn good. Once the Bears get Cutler some better weapons, then maybe that will change.
For now, Chicago is all about Matt Forte, and the running game. Jay Cutler will do just fine.
